It is designed to be the most thrilling and challenging yet safest
driving event in the United States.
The entire trip is organized for you.
All you have to do is show up ready to drive and have a great time.
The Raging Bull embodies some of the most challenging and scenic
hill country roads in the great state of Texas.
It will take you through twists, turns, dips and peaks...
you'll have to work hard to keep yourself from
being thrown off the Raging Bull.
The harder you ride it, the harder it will try to throw you off its back.
We'll ride this bull for 419 miles before getting off and going home.
